This is a perfect table and chairs for children who are older, like 4 and up. My 2 year old granddaughter does sit on it but she sits on her knees when she is eating or coloring at it. She doesn't complain, and she gets into the chair by herself so it is working wonderfully. Two chairs fit next to each other! Awesome. So if we are eating lunch and my 2 granddaughters want to watch a show while eating, they both can sit next to each other, eat and watch the show looking straight at the TV with plenty of room. My grandson who is 7 said this table is so much better than the other one I had, which was one of those little lego tables - he couldn't even sit at that anymore. It was a great purchase. It took my husband about an hour and a half to put together, all the pieces fit smoothly and there were no missing pieces. It is a solid piece, not made cheaply. I am looking forward to many years of use with this table as it seems to fit a wide range in age and weight.
